What to expect when getting dental Fillings.
First, the dentist numbs the area to prevent pain. Then, they remove the decayed part of the tooth, usually with a drill, and clean the cavity. Next, the dentist prepares the tooth for the filling, which may involve etching the tooth to get a stronger bond.
The filling material is then placed in the cavity. If the material is composite resin, a special light is used to harden it. Then the dentist shapes and polishes the filling to fit comfortably with your bite.
The whole process typically takes about an hour. Regular dental visits can help detect cavities early, making the treatment simpler and keeping your teeth healthy.
